“This space would have been boring without the kinetic sculpture. I love to mix up Old World style with modern art—it gives the room vibrancy and a personality. I like to hunt on the weekend, go to flea markets, and go to garage sales. You can find very cool things that are quirky without gallery prices. Sometimes people are haunted by the idea that art is something untouchable and very expensive; you need to have it, and you can find it or always create it for yourself.”

“This room was kind of my baby. I designed the table. The chandelier was a simple chicken wire cage, with hot-glued paper plates. The painting was just paint dripped on a canvas. It looked like it cost a lot more than it did—apart from the chairs, which were made from inlaid bone and a totally different story. I would say you could do this room with $200.”
